Romance (36 Books)

The romance novel is a literary genre developed in Western culture, mainly in English-speaking countries. Novels in this genre place their primary focus on the relationship and romantic love between two people, and must have an "emotionally satisfying and optimistic ending." Through the late 20th and early 21st centuries, these novels are commercially in two main varieties: category romances, which are shorter books with a one-month shelf-life, and single-title romances, which are generally longer with a longer shelf-life. Separate from their type, a romance novel can exist within one of many subgenres, including Adventure, Historical Fiction, Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror.

Excerpts:
“It appears to me that almost every religion tends to circumscribe the reasoning potentials of its followers. The self-styled custodian of the religious beliefs would not take it upon himself as a duty to seek the explanations of the `deviating folk`, unless an explosive situation emerges,” Nidhi expresses her opinion in the presence of the lone listener …
She says, “Even at this moment, some kuchcha structure is visible. A notice board is also clearly vi...

It is most probably true that "love isn't only a feeling, it's action...and putting someone else's needs and wants before your own at times." The traveling circus of life participants on a foreign planet left me always in quicksand of evaluating reality. Still, I thought creating my world was mine alone to do.

In fact, everything’s just fine as long we stay true to
who we are with the optimism of a romantic, and we’re
always cooking up another Stew . . .

Sleek, black, and decidedly not girly. Some, like Sandy, my checkout lady at Kroger’s, “just ain’t sure,” but frankly I wasn’t sure what they weren’t sure of. As I wheel...
